I want my kids to have a certain amount of economic floor. I've worked too hard for my kids to go through. And a lot of people, a lot of parents will say, I want my kids to make it like I did. I don't. I work so fucking hard. I don't want my kids to be fearful about money. If someone in their life is sick, I don't want them to have the same fears I had when I had someone in my life sick.

The thing that summarizes America right now is what Bill Gates said. And it's the following. And it was such a rattling statement. I thought, oh my God, that's so accurate and so puncturing and so upsetting. Bill Gates said, the world's richest man is killing the world's poorest children. And that's what we're doing here.
